175th anniversary of the Saint Stephen Association

 

„…who now remains indolent, has no future”
175 years of the Saint Stephen Association

 

The Saint Stephen Association, founded in 1848, is a unique organisation, a church association serving Catholic public education and the oldest continuously operating publishing house in Hungary.

Throughout its long and eventful history, it has sought to satisfy the needs of intellectuals and the general public alike, and its product range has always been extremely varied.

The Society has made a major contribution to the organisation of Catholic society, and its achievements in publishing were recognised a century ago, in 1923, when Pope Pius XI awarded it the title of Publisher of the Holy See.

 

The joint temporary exhibition of the NSZL and the Saint Stephen Association offers an insight into the history of one of the most important cultural institutions of Hungarian Catholicism, which played a significant role at a national level, through original artifacts, contemporary documents, photographs, books and interactive features.
